Looks like the third option is "I do not identify as M or F."

If they have to report as one or the other, where does the third option get them?

Actual question, or flame?

120 question about BR, but is it basically just going over the entire test, untimed, and redoing all of the questions until you are 100% certain of the answer? I wasn't strict about BR during prep for September but want to keep myself on my toes this time.

pretty much. Take the test, dont look at the answers. Take a break, then hit it again. Go ever every answer you got wrong + circled/wasnt sure the answer was the answer + took a long time on (or every question which wouldnt hurt) and dont move on until you know why the answer was right and why everything else is wrong. as for LG just watch the videos and then attempt the games again

Ok so - do I grade it first, without looking at the answers, and just note which ones I got wrong? Or do I not even grade it before going into BR?

You don't grade first.

Thanks, got confused when JGoods said go over the ones you got wrong, because how would I know that if I didn't grade it?

GOOD LOOKZ.

yeah my bad, that would be post-BR, after grading go back again and repeat with what you still have wrong

I would recommend not grading it first. Two reasons: (1) It becomes artificially easier to BR if you know how you scored because you can more easily guess how many points you lost and where you lost them. (2) The desire to know how you scored will motivate you to complete the review in a reasonable amount of time. Before Sept, I often scored blind just to see what I got, then blind reviewed. But I noticed that I would lost motivation to finish the review if I already had the validation of a score.

TY TLS.

The only issues I have with your question is you have a whole section of videos dedicated to BR and how to properly do it... Though I suppose your just looking for suggestions to improve it?

Well this is grave af.

On-T: I'm on chapter 2 of MLSAT LG guide...also I'm wondering if the suggested "diagnostic" can just be my last lsat score since I'm retaking or if i should make a special effort to PT very soon as like a "new baseline"?

i may be misreading this... but your diagnostic would still be the same diagnostic from when you first started studying.... no?
